 I recently saw, but am not sure where,... a complete left handed 1911. Does anyone know where or who makes this 1911. I have a friend who is wrong handed and is interested.

Caspian has receivers in stock that work with left handed slides.
That's the good news. Slide has to be custom ordered and was recently quoted at $2,000.00 to a friend of mine who owns a custom shop. He recently took an order for a custom serial numbered set of matching left and right eject pistols. I would imagine slide is custom machined from investment grade cast or bar stock. Have to be for that kind of money. |

As a lefty, I think if you have an ambi-safety, the controls of the 1911 are easier to manipulate than for a right-handed person.
Slide stop with the trigger finger. Mag release with the middle finger. Both of these functions can be performed without altering your grip on the pistol. a-bare |

RIght handed bolt action rifles are really the only things that are a bitch for me as a lefty, everything else has a workaround that is just fine. Well that, and I won't buy a semi auto handgun with a right handed, frame mounted decock lever like a Sig. |

I had a sig 226 and the decocker was easily manipulated by the trigger finger of the left hand. |
